[Verse 1] Black smoke on his back Ash under his feet X carved in the line Then he cuts so mean The void grows shy When it hears his name Iron banners burning In a pitch-black flame [Pre-Chorus] One cut, two souls gone Cold crowd barely breathes He marks, they run Black serpents in the breeze [Chorus] Messi in black Messi in black He bends the night It never turns back Spectres arise Spectres arise With every pass He sears their eyes Messi in black Messi in black A cursed world chants When he attacks [Verse 2] From shadowed streets To a worldwide roar That left-foot curse Still leaves them sore He splits that seam Through a wall blood-red Then the net snaps tight And the hope drops dead [Pre-Chorus] One cut, two souls gone Cold crowd barely breathes He marks, they run Black serpents in the breeze [Chorus] Messi in black Messi in black He bends the night It never turns back Spectres arise Spectres arise With every pass He sears their eyes Messi in black Messi in black A cursed world chants When he attacks [Bridge] And when the pressure climbs He stays like stone Like a frozen river With a hiss and groan Every cloak in dark and gloom Growls his name One slight form Casting iron flames [Final Chorus] Messi in black Messi in black He bends the night It never turns back Spectres arise Spectres arise With every pass He sears their eyes Messi in black Messi in black A cursed world chants When he attacks Messi in black Messi in black Argentina In burning truth
